About Deborah

Deborah Coppersmith is an LPC with 16 years of clinical experience who focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, ADHD-related concerns, and the emotional fallout from life transitions.

Background and approach

She offers a calm, empathic presence and works with clients facing issues such as trauma and abuse, grief, intimacy challenges, relationship and family strains, and career or caregiver burnout. Deborah emphasizes practical skills alongside emotional exploration so clients can build coping strategies that fit their daily lives.

Her style balances evidence-based methods and person-centered care, drawing on approaches like CBT and DBT as well as emotionally-focused and existential perspectives to address patterns of shame, impulsivity, abandonment, and attachment difficulties. Deborah practices in Texas and holds LPC credentials for Arizona and Oregon as well.

Sessions are designed to meet clients where they are and to support clearer communication, increased self-compassion, and sustainable change over time.

Approaches and Online Care that Fit Your Life

Deborah commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy in online work. CBT focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors to reduce symptoms of anxiety, depression, and stress, while DBT emphasizes emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness for people struggling with intense emotions or impulsivity.

She also draws on client-centered principles that prioritize the client's perspective and goals, creating a collaborative atmosphere where the therapist and client explore what feels most helpful. Determining which approach or combination of approaches will be used is a shared process guided by the client's needs, goals, and preferences rather than preselected methods.

Offering video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging allows for flexible ways to engage in therapy around work, caregiving, or travel. These formats make it easier to maintain continuity of care and to practice skills between sessions, supporting steady progress even when life is busy.
